Yes exactly 🎯. My g-son wanted to lose weight before volleyball tryouts. Was told to drink only water for 3 days 1 meal only on the 4th day. He 6' tall and 15 years old. His Mom and I quickly corrected his weight loss plan. I worry about the kids taking this advice without talking to an adult first

Yep. It’s a problem. They remind me of prosperity preachers.

My stance has always been, that if something is advertised, they need us more than we need it.

Ever notice that “Life Coaches” haven’t been real successful in their own lives??

Lol, I own a manufacturing company that manufactures 3 products that have been on the market since the mid '60's, and I've told people not to listen to those people. Hell, I've called them out on their bullshit so often it's ridiculous.

People get sick & desperate. Medical care is expensive, out of reach for too many. Drs. don't always listen, or don't want to authorize expensive testing to get a real Dx. Snake oil just delays the real treatments that are needed.

I see sooo much nonsense, sometimes dangerous advice, hawked on YouTube.
I report and block constantly but the same ads keep appearing.

I love seeing this type of pushback! More science, less marketing nonsense.
